The Chargé in the Dominican Republic (Cabot) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 21—1:20 p.m.]
79. Considerable uneasiness has been occasioned in this city by propaganda maliciously circulated by the Opposition respecting the intentions of the United States with regard to Trujillo. I believe that no good purpose would be served by concealing longer our intention to recognize Trujillo, and it has been intimated to me that the [Page 726] Government would deeply appreciate a statement to that effect. I therefore respectfully recommend that he would be [I should be?] permitted publicly to state that the Government of the United States has no intention of not recognizing Trujillo.
